Massive number of supply reinforcements a bug?

Mon Jul 10, 2006 11:06 pm

It seems that around April 1776 the Americans recieve a large number of reinforcements all over the place, however it looks like they are all supply units? Surely this must be a bug. I'm wondering if this only happens in the demo or what? It's similar to the problem in the earliest version of the first demo, when all reinforcements are actually supply or merchandise.

There is a bunch of supply units as reinforcements around this date yes. They are also in the demo.

Oh, well I thought they were supposed to get militia instead.

I also noticed that in addition to supply, a unit named Robert Howe appears with one company of colonists at one strength point. What's the purpose of that?

The messages are a bit too generic, I understand it can be confusing to get a bunch of supply wagons. We will see if we can change that.

As for Robert Howe, you are right. I replayed the entire demo this morning, and indeed he is filtered by the demo mechanism. This is the sole unit who poses the problem I have seen.
I will try to rebuild the demo within a week.

Thanks for your attention to details.
